    Doc Deep dies during dive.

    We also know that March 2015 the project was briefly outlined here by people involved in the operation and the feedback from people with 5 x more experience than the deceased found the plan so risky that they first dismissed it as a hoax and when it became apparent that this thing was really...

    Doc Deep dies during dive.

    I was thinking the same thing when David Shaw happened and I realized that my logbook was about the same size as his and I am still doing OC NDL dives... At the time I gave it the benefit of a doubt and told myself that there are dives and there are DIVES. My 200 dives may be only worth the...

    Dive Shop Recommendations in St Kitts

    C Dub, did you find anything ? If so PM me. I am on island several times a year and thus far the only technical diving I could do here I had to arrange all myself. Bring my own O2 booster, find a boat and skipper etc. The challenges on this island are: 1) Most of the dive sites close to...

    Ever had to use Rescue training?

    I guess it's a numbers game. If you do enough diving activity you will come across a bunch of emergencies. If you do 20 dives a year you might do that for 10 years and get away unscathed. Do 200 dives a year and you will probably see emergencies every other year. I also suspect there may be...

    Bad air originating in tank and not compressor

    No. Big difference. The CO monitors I referred to will detect CO, not CO2. CO will be present if there has been a problem during filling the tank and the effects can be fatal with little warning before it is too late.

    Bad air originating in tank and not compressor

    I haven't had problems with the Oxycheq unit as yet so there was no opportunity for service problems but I can +1 that Nuvair in California are absolutely awesome. Bought an O2 booster from them a while ago and service throughout has been awesome. They are a good bunch. Their portable CO unit...

    Carbon Monoxide suspected in near drowning - Virgin Islands

    I just noticed AirBNB have updated their site layout and the presence of a CO monitor separately from a smoke detector is specifically adressed in the database. We rent out some apartments in Bangkok on AirBNB so I will get CO monitors installed in there. Good to see that AirBNB specifically ask...

    Carbon Monoxide suspected in near drowning - Virgin Islands

    LOL. I visualize you eating a bad-ass burrito and sitting in front of the Sensorcon waiting to test its sensitivity to hydrogen :crafty: Having seen the Walmart link I have decided to pick one or two plug-in CO monitors and take them back home with me. I am in Austin, TX this week shopping :D...

    Carbon Monoxide suspected in near drowning - Virgin Islands

    Dandydon's CO Crusade (tm) is well placed IMHO. Yeah, he takes it to the extreme by setting up a CO monitor in his hotel room (how many people have perished in their sleep in hotels because of CO???) there is a real case to be made for CO testing in Scuba. I bought a CO tester years ago and...

    Skipping the pre-dive checks

    The book says to go home and dive another day. In real life... It's closer to what you described. Not saying that's a good thing but that's been my observation when diving with a known quantity buddy. Sent from my HTC One
